Americans continue to prove how abjectly stupid they are.
I really hope the rest of the world is genuinely done putting up with our horseshit.

Stupidity is human, not just American.
don't ever try to stop people from practicing out-group homogeniety (or in this case in-group homogeniety)
Yeah it's pretty tough to be surrounded by effectively an unwashed mass of idiots in the USA, hard to not have that opinion of the majority of my fellow Americans.
what part of the country do you live in? Im from PA but I moved to Ireland a good long while back
The rural part of Washington state... It's always been a lot more backwards and racist than people would expect based on how progressive our big cities are.
yeah well being from pennsylvania I would have no trouble believing it. philly is philly, and pittsburgh was barely democratic leaning, but drive 40 minutes in ANY direction and you might as well be in kentucky.
Once, up in clinton township, I was standing in a doorway of my uncle's house and his neighbor said "are you white?" and i said "yeah" and he demanded I come out into the light so he could see me. I was about 11 years old. I was terrified.
Yep, the sounds like PA. Mostly Kentucky, with little bits of New York floating in it.
East rural, Really East rural, Coast rural, or South rural?
I got to climb Chichen Itza when I was a kid, my parents took me before they closed it off in the 90's. It was a liability issue after someone fell.
You have to admit that Americans are really showing their asses lately, though.
Some Americans.
Stupidity knows no boundaries.
This guy is as dumb as they come
Don't get me wrong here,friend, the following is not a bit meant to be related to be connected to the current state of the US,but: This special kind of "force your Christianity onto others" stupidity is very much a thing the US is world leader on.
Christians the world over are historically famous for forcing their religion on others. How do you think that batshit drivel spread so effectively?
Also, I’ve seen nothing in this or other articles that the guy had intentions of proselytizing. Seems he’s just your run of the mill idiot.
Historically, yes. But these days almost all the proselytizing going on these days is from American groups, or groups bankrolled by American religious groups.
But it does appear that he was just doing it for TikTok clout.
